[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 728796, member: 18516"] I'm sorry for the frustration you are feeling. This is all out of your hands. Your son is 36 and he has a lawyer. I understand your son is bi-polar but he still made choices that led him to be in jail. He is experiencing the natural consequences of his actions. You may want to think about stepping back from all of this. Part of detaching is limiting our contact with our difficult adult children. We also need to stay out of their drama and chaos. I know this is hard. It's breaks our hearts to watch this happen to our children. One thing I have learned about bi-polar is sometimes it's not a correct diagnosis. If someone is abusing drugs such as cocaine or other drugs, the drugs will alter their mental state. To make an accurate diagnosis of bi-polar the person needs to be drug free for quite a while. Even if your son's diagnosis is accurate, don't let that keep you from detaching. He is a 36 year old man who at some point will have to figure out life on his own. ((HUGS)) for your hurting heart.......... [/QUOTE]
